The countdown to one of South Africa's biggest fashion celebrations is officially on, and GLAMOUR has revealed the dynamic duo who will once again take the reins of its most stylish night of the year.
Returning as co-hosts of the GLAMOUR Most GLAMOURous Awards 2026, digital creator Thulane "Toolz" Hadebe and GLAMOUR Fashion Director Tania Durand are set to bring their signature charm, fashion expertise and undeniable chemistry back to the stage.
Taking place on 25 July 2026 at the elegant Divine Sunset Venue, this year's awards promise another unforgettable evening celebrating the visionaries, designers, creators, celebrities and tastemakers shaping South Africa's fashion landscape. The annual event has become one of the country's most anticipated fashion occasions, recognising those redefining style while creating unforgettable red carpet moments.
For Toolz, returning to the GMG stage feels like a natural fit. The Johannesburg-based digital creator has carved out a space as one of South Africa's most engaging online personalities. Through his authentic storytelling across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, he's built a loyal community that looks to him for everything from pop culture commentary and lifestyle inspiration to fashion-forward content.
Known for his quick wit, infectious energy and confident style, Toolz has become one of the country's most recognisable digital voices. Whether he's interviewing celebrities, creating viral content or attending the hottest events, he brings personality and humour wherever he goes—qualities that make him the perfect person to guide audiences through a night dedicated to celebrating fashion excellence.
Sharing hosting duties is none other than GLAMOUR's own Fashion Director, Tania Durand, whose career has helped shape the visual identity of the magazine. With more than a decade in the fashion industry, Tania's journey began after studying at Vogue College of Fashion before working her way from intern to one of South Africa's most respected fashion directors.
Over the years, she has styled countless editorial shoots, collaborated with some of Africa's leading designers and consistently championed local fashion talent. Her eye for trends, creative direction and deep understanding of the industry have made her a trusted voice in fashion, both within GLAMOUR and beyond.
Together, Toolz and Tania strike the perfect balance between entertainment and editorial authority. While Toolz brings humour, charisma and audience engagement, Tania offers expert fashion insight and an intimate understanding of the industry's biggest moments.
Their return as co-hosts comes as the GLAMOUR Most GLAMOURous Fashion Awards continue to grow in prestige, shining a spotlight on the creatives and innovators driving South African fashion forward. From bold designers and influential creators to celebrities serving unforgettable looks, the awards celebrate fashion as more than clothing—it's a form of identity, creativity and self-expression.
With the hosts now confirmed, excitement for this year's ceremony continues to build. Expect standout style, memorable moments and plenty of glamour as Toolz Hadebe and Tania Durand once again lead South Africa's most fashionable celebration.
